Jets destroy Bills in merciful, freakish end to miserable year

After Rex Ryan was sacked by the Bills this week, several players came out and said it was a smart move to get rid of him because the team lacked discipline under their former coach. The game is set to kickoff at 1:00pm EST on CBS. Taken in the sixth round, there's a very good chance he becomes a steal and we'll get to see that on Sunday.

We didn't see exactly what happened, but Sammy Watkins left the season finale against the New York Jets with what the team said was a hip injury.

Whomever they pick, Watkins wants someone willing to keep players accountable. Bilal Powell will start at RB for the second straight week, and rookie wide receiver Charone Peake will get his first career start opposite of Quincy Enunwa.

Watkins will have plenty of time to heal up for the 2017 season.

An interesting story line going into this game involves the Bills quarterback, Tyrod Taylor. In today's professional sports, you don't have to be a hard-nosed curmudgeon 100 percent of the time. Maccagnan is also in his second season with the Jets, and had also been criticized for the team's roster, which likely faces an overhaul this offseason. But this year's poor finish at least guarantees the Jets will be picking in at least the top six of the draft. If this game was a showcase for E.J Manuel, he should be unemployed come next season.

"(Reid) lets his players show their true emotions, show their true personalities", McCoy said.

Despite the Jets struggles, they will be looking to end the season on a high note and complete the season sweep of the Bills. After starting 4-2, Buffalo will miss the playoffs for the 17th straight season, extending the fourth-longest postseason drought in National Football League history.
